Miliaria Red

Prickly heat is nothing more than red hot sweat rash. It appears as painful, red blisters on the skin caused by excessive sweating. Typically, these rashes occur during hot or humid weather, but they can also appear during exercise. This type of heat rash can be caused by various factors such as warm weather, humidity, alcohol consumption, stress, wearing synthetic materials, etc.

Miliaria rubra is very painful because sweat leaks through the pores and forms hard, bumpy skin. The rash can be either single or multiple rashes. Some types of this miliaria can grow and unite into large clusters. With this disease, itching also often appears, which interferes with sleep and torments the patient. How to treat prickly heat?

The first step is to soothe the skin, for which you can use anti-inflammatory creams or lotions. If the itching is severe, you can take an antihistamine. To prevent the recurrence of prickly heat, it is necessary to wear loose cotton clothing and limit stress on the body. And also if prickly heat appears again, consult a doctor immediately.

It is recommended to shower twice a day and use gentle shower gels that do not contain harsh chemicals. At the first signs of the disease, you should stop playing sports and staying outdoors, especially in conditions of high temperature, humidity and sun. You should also avoid using perfumed skin care products and deodorants.

The doctor may prescribe the following medications: - Hydrocortisone ointment. - Lotion to reduce sweating. It contains aluminum chloride. - Vitamin E oil.

Unfortunately, heat rash does not go away forever once the symptoms of the disease subside. However, if you take proper care of your skin and get rid of risk factors, you can reduce the risk of miliaria erythematosus.
